Knowledge is power

Collect the facts and spread your knowledge.

Friend, knowledge is power. The more we understand a problem like chronic poverty, the better chance we have at solving it. In the upcoming weeks we'll be taking you on a bit of a "fact-finding mission." Ready to equip yourself with the knowledge to empower the world's poor? Women make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing countries If they had the same resources as men, yields on their farms could increase 20-30%. Just think of all the hungry bellies this would fill! Grameen Foundation helps women farmers access small agricultural loans and information through initiatives like our FarmerLink program in the Philippines.

Your next step is simple: Spread this vital information as far as possible by sharing your newfound knowledge.

Grameen Foundation helps the world's poorest people reach their full potential, connecting their determination and skills with the resources they need by providing access to essential financial services and information on agriculture and health.       Grameen Foundation 1400 K Street, NW, Suite 550 Washington, DC 20005 Tel: +1 (202) 628-3560 Fax: +1 (202) 628-2341 development@grameenfoundation.org   Donate Now
